Huddle Up: Ajayi should receive a solid amount of touches against the New England Patriots. Ajayi has a chance to be the starting running back for the Eagles next season and can be a No. 2 or No. 3 fantasy running back in leagues next season.

Posted: 2/1/2018 2:31pm ET

Huddle Up: Ajayi has played well since joining the Eagles and should have a solid role against the New England Patriots. He likely will receive a bigger role next season and could be the starter depending on what the team does at the position. He can be a No. 2 or No. 3 running back in most fantasy leagues if he starts.

Huddle Up: Ajayi should receive a solid amount of touches against the New England Patriots this week. Ajayi has a chance to be the team's top running back next season and can be a No. 2 or No. 3 fantasy running back depending on his role.

Posted: 1/26/2018 12:25pm ET

Huddle Up: Ajayi has played well since joining the Eagles and could enter the 2018 season as the team's starting running back. He can be a No. 2 fantasy running back next season if he receives most of the touches at the position.

Posted: 1/25/2018 11:40am ET

Huddle Up: It doesn't sound like Ajayi's ankle issue is serious. He should be fine by February 4. A lot of pieces have to fall into place regarding Philadelphia's backfield puzzle, but Ajayi stands to be the most attractive option heading into the 2018 season.

Posted: 1/24/2018 1:37pm ET

Huddle Up: Ajayi is the apparent future of Philadelphia's backfield. He eventually saw most of the work among Eagles running backs in 2017 after being acquired from the Miami Dolphins. Additionally, LeGarrette Blount and Darren Sprols are both set to hit the free-agent market this offseason. That being said, Ajayi's fantasy ceiling reaches RB2 territory.

Posted: 1/21/2018 6:54pm ET

Philadelphia Eagles RB Jay Ajayi rushed 18 times for 73 yards and caught three passes for 26 yards in a 38-7 win over the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC Championship game.

Huddle Up: Ajayi has emerged as Philadelphia's top back during the postseason, showing RB2 potential for 2018.

Posted: 1/17/2018 8:52pm ET

Philadelphia Eagles RB Jay Ajayi said that he's 'driven' to avenge the Miami Dolphins' decision to trade him earlier in the season and that he's trying to prove them wrong for shipping him out in exchange for a fourth-round draft pick. He added, 'I don't think it will be redemption until I win the Super Bowl. If we can get that done, then I'll have my redemption.'

Huddle Up: Following a breakout second year with the Dolphins in 2015, Ajayi was out to a sluggish start before being dealt after seven games. The 24-year-old ended up being more efficient with his new team, averaging considerably more yards per carry and per reception in Philadelphia. He's been a steady presence in the Eagles' running game since being acquired, and with this extra motivation, Ajayi is set up to be one of the more productive RB options for DFS formats this weekend.

Posted: 1/13/2018 5:22pm ET

Philadelphia Eagles RB Jay Ajayi ran 15 times for 54 yards and caught three passes for 44 yards in a 15-10 win over the Atlanta Falcons.

Huddle Up: The fact Ajayi is nimble on his feet and with his hands could be a plus against a tough defense in next week's NFC Championship. Leagues that run playoff fantasy could see Ajayi score many points, even against the likes of New Orleans or Minnesota.

Posted: 1/11/2018 11:24am ET

Philadelphia Eagles RB Jay Ajayi (knee) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Jan. 11, and is not on the injury report for the Divisional Round playoff game against the Atlanta Falcons.

Huddle Up: Ajayi is the best bet to succeed out of Philadelphia's backfield, but his full potential is stinted by LeGarrette Blount and his counterparts.

Posted: 1/9/2018 11:40am ET

Huddle Up: Ajayi will play this weekend assuming he doesn't have any setbacks over the course of the week. He is the best bet in Philadelphia's backfield, but LeGarrette Blount and others limit his ceiling as was the case in the regular season.

Posted: 1/3/2018 5:40am ET

Philadelphia Eagles RB Jay Ajayi (knee) may miss practice time this week because of knee soreness.

Huddle Up: He had just 70 carries in seven games, and there have been concerns about the shape of his knee for his whole career. He has a first-round bye to recover, but Ajayi may never reach that RB1 pinnacle he was pegged for. He's a second RB at best when his matchup is decided.

Posted: 12/27/2017 7:41pm ET

Philadelphia Eagles RB Jay Ajayi is the first player in NFL history to record at least 300 rushing yards with two teams in the same season, also doing so with the Miami Dolphins.

Huddle Up: It's still bizarre that a running back the caliber of Ajayi was traded in the middle of the season for essentially peanuts, but that's how the third-year tailback had this record fall into his lap. After averaging just 3.4 yards per carry in seven games with the Dolphins, Ajayi has totaled 408 yards on 70 carries in Philadelphia, good for a 5.8 yards-per-attempt mark. He's an RB2 going into the season finale.

Posted: 12/25/2017 8:54pm ET

Philadelphia Eagles RB Jay Ajayi rushed 14 times for 52 yards in Week 16 against the Oakland Raiders and he added two receptions for 21 yards and a touchdown.

Huddle Up: Ajayi had a difficult time against a surprisingly stout Raiders rush defense, but he at least salvaged the fantasy line with a score through the air. He'll finish up in Week 17 against the visiting Cowboys.

Posted: 12/17/2017 6:43pm ET

Philadelphia Eagles RB Jay Ajayi rushed a team-high 12 times for 49 yards and caught two passes for 40 yards in a 34-29 win over the New York Giants in Week 15.

Huddle Up: Ajayi has led the backfield in carries in back-to-back weeks, but he is still sharing the load and should be viewed as a flex play.

Posted: 12/10/2017 8:51pm ET

Philadelphia Eagles RB Jay Ajayi rushed 15 times for 78 yards in Week 14 against the Los Angeles Rams and he added a two-yard reception.

Huddle Up: Ajayi and the running game might be relied upon a little more heavily going forward as Carson Wentz (knee) went down with a knee injury and might be done for a while.

Posted: 11/26/2017 6:32pm ET

Philadelphia Eagles RB Jay Ajayi ran five times for 26 yards and caught one pass for seven yards in a 31-3 win over the Chicago Bears in Week 12.

Huddle Up: Ajayi had ripped off big runs in his first to games with the Eagles to make up for a lack of touches, but with just 22 touches through three games, fantasy owners better be ready for more disappointing stat lines. He is worth stashing in case his role expands, but Ajayi is a risky starting option.

Posted: 11/19/2017 8:58pm ET

Philadelphia Eagles RB Jay Ajayi rushed seven times for 91 yards in Week 11 against the Dallas Cowboys with the highlight of the night a 71-yard run.

Huddle Up: Ajayi was caught from behind on the long run, but showed his elusiveness and big-play ability on the scamper. He'll look to keep it rolling in Week 12 against the Bears, and he remains a solid low-end RB2 or flex option in most fantasy formats.

Posted: 11/14/2017 11:56am ET

Philadelphia Eagles RB Jay Ajayi is expected to receive a bigger workload going forward. Offensive coordinator Fran Reich believes that, with two weeks to study the playbook, Ajayi is prepared for anything and everything. 'He's able to handle everything that we give him at this point,' Reich said. 'When I look at our game plan for this week, I look at and there's probably not a play on there that I wouldn't feel comfortable putting his number on.'

Huddle Up: Ajayi impressed quickly in his first game with his new team in Week 9, scampering for 77 yards and a touchdown on eight carries. He'll be splitting playing time with LeGarrette Blount and others, but Ajayi is a reasonable RB2 consideration.

Posted: 11/5/2017 6:03pm ET

Philadelphia Eagles RB Jay Ajayi rushed eight times for 77 yards and a touchdown in the Week 9 game against the Denver Broncos.

Huddle Up: It was an impressive debut for Ajayi considering he had just a crash course on the playbook after being acquired mid-week. It was his first rushing score of the season after being blanked in Miami. The team is off in Week 10.

Posted: 11/5/2017 5:17am ET

Updating a previous report, Philadelphia Eagles RB Jay Ajayi will play in Week 9's game against the Denver Broncos, although his role in the offense will be limited.

Huddle Up: LeGarrette Blount will receive the bulk of the carries for the Eagles this afternoon, with Wendell Smallwood continuing to be used in a pass-catching role. The team has a bye in Week 10, so expect Ajayi's role with the team to increase as he learns more of the playbook. However, Ajayi is not a great fantasy option for this week's game.

Posted: 11/4/2017 6:52am ET

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said he hasn't decided if RB Jay Ajayi will play in Week 9's game against the Denver Broncos. Ajayi has only been given a limited portion of the playbook, featuring just '10 to 15 plays' to focus on for now.

Huddle Up: The Eagles have a bye in Week 10, so the team could use the next two weeks to give Ajayi an opportunity to get up to speed on the playbook. Even if he is active for Sunday's game, LeGarrette Blount will remain the clear No. 1 back for Philadelphia, so Ajayi should be held out of fantasy starting lineups until after the bye.

Posted: 10/31/2017 6:35am ET

The Philadelphia Eagles have acquired RB Jay Ajayi from the Miami Dolphins for a fourth-round draft pick, according to a team source.

Huddle Up: Ajayi has been a huge disappointment in Miami this season with no rushing touchdowns. This is an chance for the rusher to regain some of his lost luster. He's a low-end RB2 or decent flex play, with the Eagles likely to move past LeGarrette Blount at this point.

Posted: 10/27/2017 7:19pm ET

Miami Dolphins RB Jay Ajayi has not rushed for a touchdown this season, and the Dolphins have gone a franchise-record eight straight games without a rushing score dating back to last season.

Huddle Up: Miami's offense has been a mess this year, and Ajayi has been one of the biggest disappointments. He will be low-upside flex play against the Oakland Raiders in Week 9.

Posted: 10/26/2017 8:45pm ET

Miami Dolphins RB Jay Ajayi rushed 13 times for 23 yards and caught four passes for 18 yards in a 40-0 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 8.

Huddle Up: It is becoming a familiar theme for Ajayi, who couldn't find any running room against a Baltimore defense that has struggled against the run. He was expected to be a RB1 this year, but at this point, he is merely a flex play.

Posted: 10/25/2017 3:07pm ET

Huddle Up: Ajayi has received at least 20 carries in each of the last three games and should receive a similar workload this week. He has been inconsistent this season but can still be a No. 2 running back in most fantasy leagues.

Posted: 10/24/2017 2:36pm ET

Huddle Up: Ajayi hasn't been bad this year, but he has underachieved based on what we expected from him coming into the season. He has a great opportunity Thursday night to bounce back against a Baltimore Ravens defense that has yielded the most rushing yards (970) to running backs this season.

Posted: 10/23/2017 1:08pm ET

Miami Dolphins RB Jay Ajayi (elbow, knee) was limited during practice Monday, Oct. 23. The Dolphins did not hold a practice Monday, so this is an estimation.

Huddle Up: Ajayi will be able to play this week despite the injuries but may not do much during practice. He has received at least 23 carries in each of the last three games but has been inconsistent this season. He will be facing a solid Baltimore Ravens defense but can still be a No. 2 fantasy running back.

Posted: 10/22/2017 6:25pm ET

Miami Dolphins RB Jay Ajayi rushed 23 times for just 51 yards in Week 7 against the New York Jets and he added three receptions for 26 yards on four targets.

Huddle Up: Ajayi was stifled by a tougher than expected Jets rush defense. It's a quick turnaround for Ajayi and the Dolphins, facing the Ravens on Thursday night in Week 8.

Posted: 10/20/2017 12:10pm ET

Miami Dolphins RB Jay Ajayi (knee) fully participated in practice Friday, Oct. 20, and is not on the injury report for Week 7.

Huddle Up: Ajayi likely will be bothered by the knee for the rest of the season but will be able to play. He recorded his second 100-yard game last week and should receive a solid amount of carries against the New York Jets. He can be considered a No. 2 running back in most fantasy leagues.

Posted: 10/20/2017 6:21am ET

Miami Dolphins RB Jay Ajayi (knee) has been dealing with chronic knee soreness since the end of the preseason, which has required a day off each week for treatment. Offensive coordinator Clyde Christensen hinted that it has stunted Ajayi's development in the passing game because of the missed repetitions. 'It is kind of an issue (because) he doesn't practice every single day,' Christensen said. 'So he probably needs the extra reps in the passing game, but when you get him out there you want to get your runs called.'

Huddle Up: He tore his right anterior cruciate ligament six years ago, and there was concern that he'd require constant treatment to stay on the field when he came out of the NFL Draft. His lack of a touchdown and seven grabs for 23 yards are what have kept him from his RB1 potential up to this point. He has a so-so matchup against the New York Jets this week.

Posted: 10/19/2017 10:32am ET

Huddle Up: That's two straight practices missed for Ajayi, but don't give up on him yet. He wasn't at full health last week and managed to cultivate his best game of the season. Monitor his status over the next couple of days, but keep him in your starting lineup for now.

Posted: 10/18/2017 2:07pm ET

Huddle Up: Ajayi was in and out of practice last week and he was able to play, and play well. He has two 100-yard games in five outings, but he posted a season-low 16 yards on 11 rushes in Week 3 against the Jets in the first meeting.

Posted: 10/15/2017 1:55pm ET

Miami Dolphins RB Jay Ajayi rushed 26 times for 130 yards in Week 6 against the Atlanta Falcons. He was also targeted three times in the pass game but did not have a catch.

Huddle Up: Ajayi was slowed by a knee ailment in practice but he didn't appear to be hindered in this road win. His 130 rushing yards were a season high, and it was his first 100-yard day since the team's first game of the season at L.A. Chargers in Week 2. The Dolphins host the Jets in Week 7.

Posted: 10/13/2017 12:55pm ET

Miami Dolphins RB Jay Ajayi (knee) fully participated in practice Friday, Oct. 13, and is not on the injury report for Week 6.

Huddle Up: Ajayi will receive his normal workload even though he has been dealing with the knee injury for most of the season. He has rushed for at least 75 yards in two of the four games this season but has not recorded any touchdowns yet. He can be considered a No. 2 running back in most fantasy leagues.

Posted: 10/12/2017 2:01pm ET

Huddle Up: It is believed that Ajayi was receiving a rest day and should return to practice Friday, Oct. 13. He has been a bit inconsistent this season and is facing a solid Atlanta Falcons defense this week. He can be considered a No. 2 fantasy running back in most leagues.

Posted: 10/11/2017 3:07pm ET

Huddle Up: Ajayi is coming off a solid Week 4 performance but has rushed for at least 100 yards in only one game this season. He will continue to receive most of the work at running back and can be a No. 2 fantasy running back this week against the Atlanta Falcons.

Posted: 10/8/2017 6:59pm ET

Miami Dolphins RB Jay Ajayi finished with 25 carries for 77 yards and two catches for two yards in a 16-10 win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 5.

Huddle Up: The touches have been there for Ajayi, but the production has left a lot to be desired. He is averaging just 3.4 yards per carry and has yet to score, and Miami has been struggling on offense overall. He is a volume-based RB2 at this point.

Posted: 10/6/2017 3:04pm ET

Miami Dolphins RB Jay Ajayi (knee) fully participated in practice Friday, Oct. 6, and is not on the injury report for Week 5.

Huddle Up: Ajayi has been able to play this season despite the injury and will see his normal workload against the Tennessee Titans. He has been quiet of the last two weeks but can still be considered at least a No. 2 running back in all fantasy leagues this week.

Posted: 10/5/2017 3:33pm ET

Huddle Up: Although Ajayi has been battling a knee issue the past couple of weeks, this is still a little out of the ordinary, as the 24-year-old got in a full practice on Wednesday. Nonetheless, he's still expected to suit up on Sunday and will have a plus matchup in the team's first legitimate home game of the season opposite a Titans defense that just had 57 points hung on them.

Posted: 10/4/2017 1:55pm ET

Huddle Up: Ajayi probably will deal with this knee injury for most of the season but has been able to play in every game. He has struggled over the last two weeks but can still be a No. 2 fantasy running back against the Tennessee Titans this week.

Posted: 10/1/2017 9:46am ET

Miami Dolphins RB Jay Ajayi rushed for 46 yards on 12 carries against the New Orleans Saints in Week 4. He also caught one pass for eight yards during the game.

Huddle Up: Ajayi has been dealing with a knee injury but continues to receive most of the carries in the running game. He has been held to under 50 yards rushing in each of the last two games but can still be a No. 2 fantasy running back next week against the Tennessee Titans.

Posted: 10/1/2017 5:59am ET

Miami Dolphins RB Jay Ajayi (knee) will play in Week 4 against the New Orleans Saints. Ajayi was listed as questionable. As previously reported, his third-down role will be limited in effort to keep him healthy.

Huddle Up: Limiting him on third downs isn't such a big deal for fantasy owners, since he isn't much of a pass-catching choice anyway. Ajayi returns to his hometown of London this week, which could spark something for him. The Saints haven't been the greatest against running backs through three games, although most teams choose to operate through the air to exploit this defense. Ajayi has RB2 prospects for Week 4.

Posted: 9/30/2017 7:11pm ET

Miami Dolphins RB Jay Ajayi is the workhorse for the offense, according to offensive coordinator Clyde Christensen, but Christensen said third down is a 'good time' to rest Ajayi.

Huddle Up: Ajayi only caught 27 passes for 151 yards last year, so losing some touches on third down shouldn't change his overall value much. Consider him a RB1 in Week 4 against a vulnerable New Orleans Saints defense.

Posted: 9/29/2017 3:34pm ET

Huddle Up: Ajayi should be able to handle his normal workload and will be facing a New Orleans Saints defense that has struggled at times against the run. He can be considered a No. 1 running back in all fantasy leagues.

Posted: 9/28/2017 1:17pm ET

Huddle Up: It's quite the upgrade after Ajayi didn't even practice yesterday. He has one of the best matchups of his season this week against the New Orleans Saints. It would be a big disappointment if he finished outside of RB1 territory.

Posted: 9/28/2017 10:31am ET

Miami Dolphins RB Jay Ajayi (knee) will be ready to play against the New Orleans Saints this weekend, according to head coach Adam Gase.

Huddle Up: Ajayi didn't practice yesterday, so the fact that Gase is already saying he'll play is encouraging. He may not be full go, but Ajayi has a tremendous matchup and deserves to be started as an RB1.

Posted: 9/27/2017 12:59pm ET

Huddle Up: Ajayi was limited to 16 yards on 11 carries in the game against the New York Jets last week before exiting early. The England-born Ajayi is likely to do everything in his power to be on the field, but wait to see if he can practice in full on Friday before submitting him into the active lineup. If he plays he faces a favorable matchup.

Posted: 9/27/2017 11:51am ET

Updating a previous report, Miami Dolphins RB Jay Ajayi (knee) is likely to play Week 4 versus the New Orleans Saints in London.

Huddle Up: Ajayi did not practice Wednesday and probably won't go Thursday either if he follows the same script as last week, but it appears the Dolphins plan to rest him as much as possible. With a matchup against a favorable opponent in his hometown on tap, it would be a surprise if Ajayi doesn't bounce back in a big way after a 16-yard rushing effort in Week 3.
